Season of Prayer and Preparation

The Council of Assembly notes that “The Action Plan should be thought of, first and foremost, as an act of faith … we hope to create a prayerful and worshipful sense of expectation that the Church of Scotland is seeking to do a new thing, reliant on the Spirit of God. We also hope to ensure that the Action Plan stands the best possible chance of succeeding”.

As such, the church is encouraged to participate in a Season of Prayer and Preparation, to be held from September through December 2019. A simple set of resources will be made available to aid prayer, reflection and planning.
